ONE BAUDUCCO PANETONNE 17.5 oz, on sale $3.99 (reg. $4.99)No coupons usedNET PRICE: $3.99![Note – I love these, and they make wonderful holiday hostess gifts. I spotted the 26.2-oz boxes at Publix yesterday for $8.99 each, so $3.99 for a 17.5 oz cake is a good price. The CVS price is equivalent to paying $5.97 for the larger cake. I’ll be picking up a few more before the sale is over.)

They follow what’s known as the 98% rule, so if a promotion has a $20 minimum for an ECB to print, the ECB will print if the total is at least $19.60 before tax or coupons.

Editing to add that CVS has been adjusting the registers so often lately relative to how promotions and coupons are evaluated and allowed that it may have been a glitch when you bought the Bounty or is a sign of changes coming for everyone. I don’t recall the specifics of the Bounty deal because I don’t need paper towels. The 98% rule has worked for me for several years and worked for me yesterday.

The Unilever rebates usually show up in SavingStar accounts on the same day as the insert coupons, so November 6 for the current Suave rebates (10 days ago). I check SavingStar every couple days, but definitely whenever we get a Red Plum in the Sunday paper that has any Unilever coupons. You don’t always get a matching SavingStar rebate, but you usually get at least some with matching rebates.
